With the final hours of MatPat's Retirement slowly approaching. I felt like I needed to do something for my Internet Hero.
Matpat and Steph have truly raised a generation of internet denizens. May the king finally rest and the new holders of the theory torch pave a new road just like how they did for all of us.
HAPPY RETIREMENT MATPAT!

i’ve spent the last day and a half crying, off and on. i could try to get a version of this without tears but i don’t think it would feel genuine, and i don’t know how many takes i would need to stop crying. it’s rough and messy and ugly and raw and not the best that it could be, but it’s honest. grief is a process, and it’s one i’m still working on, partially with this piece. it’s one a lot of us are still working on.
Technoblade meant so much to this whole community. his videos brought me into minecraft again, after i left it for years. i don’t know where i would be if i hadn’t found his content. he is, in the most earnest of ways to me, a legend and a fucking hero. i cannot even begin to quantify the impact he has had on my life.
much as we carry on the legacies of others that have inspired us past the darkness, i want to make sure the influence he had and has on all of us never dies. as Sir Terry Pratchett said, “a man is not dead while his name is still spoken”. Technoblade is no longer with us, but Technoblade never dies. we’ll make fucking sure of it.
fight on. fight hard. grieve. the universe said you are stronger than you know.
lyrics
You saved me when all was dark
When all was cold and had no heart
You reached out from years and miles away
And made me smile for a day
And when I woke up I could almost feel the light
And now that you’re gone I feel the empty night
I make myself potato soup this morning
I learned to cope with all i know from mourning
I knew that someday I’d have to say goodbye
I told myself it wasn’t now, but that’s a well trodden lie
I’ve lost before, and I’ll lose again
But your story’s not over, I refuse to let it end
The universe said I love you
So i’m doing my best to make that true
You played the game well, now rest
You made us stronger and a little less depressed
Blood for the blood god
Peace for the king
Know that you gave us
Everything
Love for the long gone
Peace for the king
May you live on forever
In our tributes and our dreams
May you never die
As long as we survive
You’re lost and you’re gone
But our voices will sing on
Ooo
Blood for the blood god
Love for the long gone
Peace, peace, peace

Technoblade's death had a larger impact on me then I thought. I honestly can't stop crying whenever I think of him.
But for now, Rest well king. You've done so much for your fans and other people, I or rather we can't thank you enough for brightening our days with your videos and your dark humor. Thank you, Alex.

Technoblade was an amazing creator. He was funny and always kept things light-hearted.
He didn't deserve this, yet here we are.
Technoblade never dies, and his legacy lives on as well.
And as his voices its our job to keep up his said legacy.
Technoblade never frikin dies and he will always be remembered in the minecraft community as
The Blood God, One of the best PVPers, The Potato King, and just as being a good person overall.
Its ok to cry and its ok to grieve and step away.
Just don't go quiet and don't forget him.
Technoblade will never die.
He will always be somewhere with us whether in heart or memory.
Rest well king and fly high in the kingdom of god. <3

DP X DC PROMPT #28
(#) = Notes at the end of post
✦
Chartreuse
Due to the high levels of ambient ectoplasm, all the citizens of Amity Park gained a permanent change in eye color. They don't glow or flare in response to rampant emotions like true ghosts or the halfas though. They're just an unnaturally bright yellow-green.
The thing is, nobody else on Earth has this eye color, and it's never been seen in the human race until the recently graduated Amity Parkers started branching out to other cities to find jobs.
Nobody paid this any mind at first, though. Many just thought the individuals liked strangely colored contacts or it was a trick of the light. It's not until Danny and Tucker are both hired for positions in Wayne Enterprises that questions start popping up.
At first, the other employees thought the two might be related. It could happen, it's not that strange. However, when both of them said they're nowhere near related, just childhood best friends, it left everyone confused. If they aren't related and they aren't wearing colored contacts, then what are the odds of too completely unrelated people having the exact same strange and unseen eye color?
After a while, everyone just stops asking questions. After all, both men are easy to get along with and are excellent at their jobs, so a strange eye color isn't really something to complain about. Their stares were just a bit more intense than most people, and honestly, they've seen stranger things.
It helps that they've started seeing other people with the same eye color popping up in celebrity, sports, and activist circles. (1)
However, It's not until the power goes out during a late meeting/presentation, and Tim Drake accidentally turns on and shines his cell phone light into Tuckers eyes, that he starts seriously digging.
Needless to say, the animal-like green shine of his pupils scared the shit out of him and got him wondering if two of his new employees were part of a previously unknown alien race that'd recently settled on Earth without anyone noticing. When he looks into the middle of nowhere town they came from, this idea is even further cemented when he sees every person he finds a photo of have the exact same shade of chartreuse eyes. Ignoring the ghost rumors and "sightings" as just a strange tourist trap for the strange little town to make extra income, he brings the info he found to the other bats and birds.
They aren't exactly welcomed when they go snooping around Amity Park, unfortunately... (2 & 3)
✦
Now. To make this a bit more cracky, when confronted, do Danny and Tucker just come clean or do they milk the idea of them being aliens for all it's worth? (4) Add in a few strange, but perfectly normal for them, things they do that have people scratching their heads and make the assumption even worse/more irrefutable. This includes the unexplainable eye shine Tim discovered.
✦
(1) Paulina became a supermodel and is coveted for her striking eye color and beautiful complexion. Dash became a coach for a well known college in Metropolis, while Kwan became a fitness trainer and sponsor for health related items that actually work, also partnered with the college Dash coaches at. Sam became a notorious environmental activist and is the enemy of many companys who are determined to turn the world into a toxic wasteland. With the help of Danny's parents, she's found many eco-friendly chemical compounds that dissolve many of the toxic substances damaging ecosystems around the world. Etc, etc.
(2) Ectoplasm exposure has made everyone a bit more territorial over the town, including their protectors. They don't need outside heroes/organizations interfering with their work and don't/won't take kindly to the sudden interest hero organizations gain over them and their strange little town. That hasn't worked out too well with other government sanctioned organizations in the past and they don't want a repeat, thank you.
(3) Maybe Team Phantom even established themselves right around the same time or even before the Justice League was formed and they just flew under the radar until now. Maybe Amity Parkers feel a bit superior due to their seniority in having an excellent team in the know about the supernatural/non-human side of the world/universe? Who knows? You pick! Amity Park has been through a lot by themselves, so it's no shocker if they have an extreme amount of solidarity towards those they call their own.
(3 cont'd) Also! Since Amity Park has become so rich and saturated in ectoplasm over the years, they were eventually annexed/became an outside part of the Ghost Zone. Jack and Maddy are border patrol and any ghosts coming through need a passport now. Amity Park is basically a vacation hub for ghosts? Ghosts can freely roam the streets, they just don't wreak havoc anymore. That'd basically be terrorizing their fellow citizens at this point anyway and that's a no no. That means jail time with Walker. Amity Parkers also aren't afraid anymore and in fact CAN hit back now. This does not stop the Bat Clan and eventually the Justice League from thinking they're a town full of aliens tho. Some are just more human looking than others. Or they've been on Earth and procreating long enough with humans that their hybrid offspring have also started looking more human, is the ongoing conclusion.
(4) The Anti-Ecto Acts are not an issue here! Team Phantom already dismantled and annihilated the GIW years before they even thought of leaving Amity Park on its own. Before graduating highschool even. Yes, Team Phantom is perfectly self-sufficient and able to handle their own problems and have kept the city-wide ghost infestation pretty isolated outside a few events that were handled quickly and with the world none the wiser. So the world is still pretty ignorant of the existence of ghosts/the Ghost Zone. Would Team Phantom and Amity Park prefer to keep it that way though?
